When two dice are thrown, simultaneously.
Possible outcomes = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}.
No. of possible outcomes = 6 × 6 = 36.
(i) Favourable outcomes for getting a sum of 13 = 0.
∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 0
P(getting a sum of 13) = $\frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{No. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{0}{36}$ = 0.
Hence, probability of getting a sum of 13 = 0.
(ii) Favourable outcomes for getting a sum less than 13 = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}.
∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 36
P(getting a sum less than 13) = $\frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{No. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{36}{36}$ = 1.
Hence, probability of getting a sum less than 13 = 1.
(iii) Favourable outcomes for getting a sum of 10 = {(4, 6), (5, 5), (6, 4)}.
∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 3
P(getting a sum of 10) = $\frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{No. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{3}{36} = \frac{1}{12}$.
Hence, probability of getting a sum of 10 = $\frac{1}{12}$.
(iv) Favourable outcomes for getting a sum less than 10 = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3)}.
∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 30
P(getting a sum less than 10) = $\frac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{No. of possible outcomes}} = \frac{30}{36} = \frac{5}{6}$.
Hence, probability of getting a sum less than 10 = $\frac{5}{6}$.
